General  Remarks. 


All  roe  say  in  this  circular  we  believe  to  be  true,  but  will  not,  nor  do  not 
hold  ourselves  responsible  for  leaky  Roofs,  ( often  improperly  put  on,)  nor 
damage  to  goods  after  shipping  in  good  order.  Nor  will  we  take  any  respon- 
sibility whatever,  except  to  deliver  every  man  what  he  buys  and  pays  for,  and 
the  only  guarantee  we  give,  is  on  Roofs  laid  in  this  city  by  our  own  workmen; 
those  we  guarantee  water-tight  for  Jive  years. 

you  will  send  us  the  size  of  vour  building,  and  the  pitch  of  Roof,  we  will  send 
you  estimate  of  cost  for  complete  materials. 

ffisT’When  you  order  ten  squares  of  Roofing  complete,  you  get  enough  Roofing  to  cover 
ten  squares  of  Surface,  including  the  laps,  fifteen  gallons  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  ten  pounds  of 
Nails,  and  seven  pounds  of  caps. 

/'■3-In  laying  Rubber  Roofing,  if  by  any  accident  a holeshould  be  made  in  the  Rubber, 
put  Cement  over  the  hole,  then  a patch  of  Rubber  six  or  eight  inches  square,  nail  and 
cap  all  around ; do  this  after  the  main  roof  is  laid  and  before  painting. 

(feS~One  gallon  Slate  Roofing  Paint  covers  200  to  300  square  feet  tin  or  iron  ; 50  square 
feet  of  old,  or  7 > square  feet  of  new  shingles  ; 100  square  feet  rough  boards,  or  200  square  feet 
of  new  smooth  boards.  This  is  about  the  quantity  required ; a Flat  shingle  roof  requires  more 
^©“Should  the  Slate  Paint  be  too  heavy  to  work  easy  with  a brush,  thin  with  boiled 
Linseed  oil  or  Japan  drier. 

ISP’Will  Slate  Roofing  Paint  effect  cistern  water?  is  often  asked  by  parties 
who  reserve  rain  water  for  domestic  purposes:  in  this  connection  we  state  that 
where  any  roof  requires  a coating  of  any  kind,  rain  water  should  be  turned  off 
from  the  cistern,  until  after  the  first  few  rains  Slate  Roofing  Paint  is  no  excep- 
tion, although  it  is  formed  ol  the  purest  ingredients  possible  to  procure.  Slate 
is  clean,  odorless  ; Sand  is  one  of  the  best  filters  of  water ; there  is  nothing  in 
Slate  Roofing  Paint  injurious  to  the  health  of  man  or  beast.  If  water  is  re- 
served, turn  it  off  from  the  cistern  until  after  the  first  few  rains,  and  no  percep- 
tible effect  on  cistern  water  will  -esult : the  paint  becomes  hard  and  the  sand 
over  second  coat  of  paint)  soon  asserts  its  superiority,  as  a purifier  of  water.

ABOUT  INSURANCE. 

'WZHT.A.T  THIS  XT ^ ID EIEfcW  IRITIS  IRS  SAA1T: 

New  York  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters, 

Offices,  156  and  158  Broadway, 

New  York,  November  20th,  1876. 


Dear  Sib: — The  rate  here  on  buildings  covered  with  “ Rubber  Roofing,”  made  of  pure 
wool  fibre,  saturated  with  your  Rubber  Composition,  covered  with  two  coats  of  your  Fire- 
proof Slate  Paint  (second  coat  sanded),  is  the  same  as  our  standard  rate  on  tin  roofs. 

Yours  respectfully,  JAS.  HARRISON,  Stjpt. 

One  of  our  customers  in  Florida,  seeing  the  above  in  our  book  circular  and  finding 
opposition  to  our  Roofing  by  Insurance  agents  in  that  state,  wrote  to  us  for  further  infor 
mation,  whereupon  we  submitted  his  letter  to  the  Supt.  of  the  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters 
who  wrote  the  following  in  reply : 

NEW  YORK  BOARD  OF  FIRE  UNDERWRITERS, 

Bureau  of  Surveys,  Boreel  Building, 


W.  E.  Armstrong,  Esq., 

Palatka,  Fla. 


115  Broadway.  New  York,  Sept.  11th,  1883. 


Dear  Sir: — Your  letter  dated  Aug.  7th,  was  handed  me  and  am  somewhat  surprised  at 
the  opposition  on  the  part  of  the  Insurance  Go’s  in  your  district  to  this  class  of  Roofing. 

We  have  no  complaints  here.  This  Roofing  is  placed  on  the  same  footing  with  tin  roofs 
among  our  Companies,  for  which  only  a charge  of  5c.  is  made;  no  additional  charge  made 
for  Rubber  Roofing  and  no  fears  entertained  as  to  its  safety  in  case  of  fire. 

Nearly  all,  if  not  all  of  our  large  Warehouses  on  the  shore  line  of  Brooklyn  and  New  York 
are  covered  with  this  or  a similar  roofing.-  These  buildings  contain  millions  of  dollars  worth 
of  goods.  Specimens  of  Rubber  Roofing  were  presented  to  our  committee  long  ago,  and 
approved  as  I have  stated,  making  no  greater  charge  than  for  a Tin  roof.  1 have  seen  ex- 
periments on  this  roofing,  by  building  fires  on  it  without  damage.  In  my  own  personal 
experience,  I can  testify  to  the  value  of  this  roofing.  My  own  dwelling  house  was  covered 
with  tin,  and  bothered  me  by  continually  leaking.  Five  years  ago  I had  this  roofing  put  on 
and  never  have  had  a drop  of  leak  since.  I do  not  know  how  I can  make  myself  understood 
in  a stronger  manner,  if  my  former  letter  was  weak.  The  roof  was  ranked  good  by  our 
Board,  and  no  charge  has  been  made  I know , for  I am  the  party  who  would  have  promul- 
gated such  charge.  I trust  my  statement  will  help  you. 

Yours  truly, 

J.  HARRISON,  Supt.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USING  RUBBER  ROOFING. 

Board  the  roof  close,  as  shown  in  cut.  Sweep  clean  of  all  nails,  chips,  etc.  Commence  at 
the  eaves  (or  gutter),  nail  the  lower  edge  once  in  two  inches,  using  ordinary  lath  nails  with 
thin  heads,  shielded  with  tin  caps.  Let  the  second  sheet  lap  over  the  first  about  two  inches 
nail  as  before,  and  so  repeat. 

Great  care  should  be  taken  to  fit  the  Felt  closely  around  the  sky-lights,  scuttles,  chimneys, 
gutters,  bulk-heads,  flag  poles,  etc.  and  when  used  around  such  places  should  be  turned  up 
two  inches  and  carefully  fastened,  with  lath,  boards  or  cleats,  using  Cement  freely. 

When  the  felt  is  all  properly  laid  and  fastened,  then  commence  at  the  upper  part  and  coat 
the  entire  surface  with  Slate  Roofing  Paint.  After  two  or  three  days  apply  another  coat  and 
then  sprinkle  freely  with  clean,  dry  sand,  immediately  after  the  Paint  is  applied.  Use  as  much 
sand  as  the  Paint  will  absorb. 

For  Terms  see  Second  page  of  Cover,  (Book  Circulai*.! 


In  exposed  and  windy  places  we  recommend  battings,  or  cleats,  to  run  up  and  down 
the  roof,  as  shown  in  the  above  cut.  They  can  be  laid  15  to  30  inches  apart,  and 
nailed  with  heavy  nails,  so  as  to  have  good  hold  in  the  sheeting  boards.  Common 
laths  will  answer  the  purpose,  except  at  the  end  or  edges  of  the  roof ; for  these  wo 
advise  strips  one  inch  thick  and  two  inches  wide.  The  latter  should  be  put  on  all  our 
roofs,  after  laying  the  Rubber  and  before  painting.  When  cleats  are  used,  paint  tho 
roof  in  strips,  and  lay  the  cleat  in  the  green  paint,  and  nail.  When  this  is  done,  paint 
the  entire  roof,  cleats  and  all,  as  directed  on  another  page. 

RUBBER  ROOFING 

as  made  by  us  at  our  own  factory,  is  prepared  from  felt,  of  a pure  wool  fibre , this  if 
saturated  in  a compound  which  renders  it  entirely  inpervious  to  water ; it  is  then 
rolled  and  re-rolled,  under  hydraulic  pressure,  until  leaving  our  machinery  it  appears 
as  a strong,  compact,  cleanly  and  pliable  material,  fitted  for  use  wherever  a weather- 
proof roof  is  wanted. 

THE  RUBBER  ROOFING  forms  the  base  of  our  roof,  which  is  yet  to  be 
completed  by  the  application  of  two  coats  of  SLATE  ROOFING  PAINT  (last 
coat  sanded.)  and  we  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  this  roof,  when  kept  painted, 
will  last  as  long  as  the  very  best  Tin  roof,  and  without  their  liability  to  constant 
leakage. 

We  commend  these  materials  for  use — 

1st— On  Dwelling  Houses,  Darns,  Stables  and  Out-Honses  of  al: 

kinds,  confident  that  they  will  give  satisfaction  wherever  a durable  and  reasonably 
cheap  wreather-proof  roof  is  wanted. 

2d— On  Churches,  Theatres,  Warehouses,  Railroad  Depots, 
Bridges,  and  all  kinds  of  large  buildings. 

Note. — The  noise  caused  by  rain  and  hail  on  metal  roofs,  is  leading  the  principal 
architects  of  the  countr-  to  discard  those  metals,  and  substitute  our  Rubber  Roofing, 
which  is  noiseless. 

3d— On  Factories,  Foundries,  Mills,  machine  Shops  and  Round 
[Engine]  Houses,  Chemical  Works,  Glass  Factories,  Ac. 

Note. — For  this  class  of  roofs  we  claim  for  our  materials  special  merits.  Owing  to 
the  vibration  of  the  building,  caused  by  the  action  of  heavy  machinery,  it  has  here- 
tofore been  found  difficult  to  keep  the  roofs  in  order.  Especially  are  tin  roofs  liable 
to  be  broken  and  drawn  apart,  by  reason  of  the  forces  of  contraction  and  expansion 
caused  by  the  ever- varying  temperatureacting  in  connection  with  the  vibration  caused 
by  the  machinery.  In  addition  to  which  the  fumes  arising  from  the  chemical  in 
gredients  used  in  factories,  and  thesteam  from  engines  ami  boilers  unite  in  destroying 
Tin  roofs  by  corrosion.  These  causes  have  no  effect  on  our  Rubber  Roofing.

SLATE  ROOFING  PAINT! 


®a5“FIRE-r ROOF.  WATER-PROOF.  DURABLE.  NO  HEATING  REQUIRED. 

MIXED  READY  FOR  USE. 


The  Best  in  the  World  for  Tin,  Iron  & Shingle  Roofs. 


Tested  fifteen  years,  and  nsed  on  nearly  all  the  roofs  in  New  York,  Philadelphia  and 
Cincinnati,  as  well  as  on  the  principal  depots  in  the  United  States. 

The  paint  is  elastic,  will  expand  and  contract,  with  heat  or  cold,  will  not  crack,  peel  or  scale; 
being  slate,  will  not  rust  or  corrode.  It  will  protect,  preserve  and  improve  rough  wood  work, 
and  for  brick  walls  it  is  the  only  reliable  Paint  ever  introduced,  that  will  effectually  prevent 
dampness  from  penetrating  and  discoloring  the  plaster. 

On  decayed  shingles,  it  tills  up  the  pores  and  gives  a new  and  substantial  roof,  that  lasts  for 
years.  Curled  or  warped  shingles  it  brings  to  their  places,  and  keeps  them  there.  Although 
a slow  dryer,  rain  does  not  effect  it.  Our  Paint,  which  (for  shingle  roofs)  is  chocolate  color, 
when  first  applied,  but  soon  changes  to  a uniform  slate  color,  and  is,  to  all  intents  and  pur- 
poses slate,  and  proof  against  burning  embers,  as  can  be  easily  tested. 

On  tin  roofs  our  red  color  is  usually  preferred,  as  one  coat  is  equal  to  five  of  any  ordinary 
paint. 

For  Factories,  Founderies,  Mills,  Machine  Shops,  Warehouses,  Engine  Houses,  Freight 
Cars,  Depots,  Farm  and  Seaside  buildings,  Bridges,  Stables.  Fences,  etc.,  etc.,  it  is  expressly 
recommended.

Leaky  Roofs  Made  Good. 


In  all  parts  of  the  country  are  sheds  and  storehouses  of  many  thousands  of 
square  feet  in  extent  which  have  been  covered  with  metal  and  shingle  roofs  at  a 
great  cost.  Especially  is  this  true  of  the  cotton  and  tobacco  sheds  of  the  South, 
and  the  great  storehouses  along  the  Western  rivers.  In  course  of  time  they  have 
come  to  leak  in  so  many  places  as  to  seriously  damage  what  they  should  protect. 
To  repair  them  or  to  remove  them  and  substitute  another  metal  or  shingle  roof  in- 
volves a large  expense  and  many  weeks  of  valuable  time.  Besides,  in  many  places, 
it  5s  with  great  difficulty  skilled  labor  can  be  had  in  sufficient  quantity  to  put  on 
these  new  roofs  between  storms. 

To  repair  such  roofs  quickly,  surely  and  cheaply,  has  been  to  us,  for  a long 
time,  a difficult  problem.  We  have,  at  length,  solved  it.  We  have  .found  that  a 
heavy  bodied  Slate  Rooting  Paint,  similar  to  that  used  for  rubber  roofing,  but 
heavier,  just  answers  the  conditions.  The  application  is  simple.  First  go  care- 
fully over  the  roof  and  note  all  the  holes  in  the  shingles,  or  places  rusted  through 
the  metal.  Paint  them  over  with  the  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  lay  over  them  a piece 
of  felt  or  of  cotton  cloth,  and  then  paint  over  the  pieces  with  the  Slate  Paint. 

(For  large  holes  in  the  roof,  or  about  chimneys,  sky-lights,  etc.,  we  recommend 
using  our  Slate  Cement  first,  then  paint  and  patch  as  above  stated.) 

When  the  roof  has  been  thus  thoroughly  patched,  give  it  a good  covering  of 
Slate  Roofing  Paint.  A roof  so  defective  as  to  be  impossible  to  repair  in  the  usual 
way  can  be  made  perfectly  water  tight  and  to  last  many  years.  The  worst  roofs 
will  need  two  coats  of  this  valuable  preparation.  Anyone  can  apply  it,  for  we  fur- 
nish it  ready-mixed  in  any  quantity,  and  it  is  easily  applied  with  a good  sized  paint 
brush.  Correspondence  is  invited  with  the  owners  of  such  roofs,  and  estimates  fur- 
nished, or  we  will  send  men  to  repair  them  within  any  reasonable  distance 

For  quantity  of  paint  required,  see  general  remarks.

RUBBER  ROOFING, 

(Being  Laid  over  Old  Shingles.) 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  LAYING  ON  STEEP  ROOFS. 

1st.— Begin  at  the  top,  having  centre  of  first  roll  cover  the  ridge  and  extend  over  the  edge 
of  roof  abont  11  inches. 

2d. — Unroll  next  layer,  and  snap  a chalked  line  two  inches  from  the  tipper  edge,  slide  the 
•cond  layer  under  the  first,  and  secure  by  nailing  through  our  metal  caps.  Always  begin  in 
the  centre  of  the  roof  and  nail  along  the  lap  to  each  end.  The  chalked  line  is  necessary  to 
obtain  a uniform  lap  entire  length  of  roll ; otherwise  yon  may  nail  the  roofing  crooked,  and 
to  straighten  it  ridges  are  formed ; — the  next  layers  are  put  on  in  the  same  manner 

3d. — With  our  Extra  Roofing  Brush  apply  the  frst  coat  of  Slate  Roofing  Paint  on  the 
three  layers  ; then  proceed  laying  the  roofing  Our  object  in  so  painting  is  that  we  are  not 
continually  tramping  over  the  work 

THE  ILLUSTRATION  REPRESENTS. 

First:  Layer  at  peak.  Second:  Layer  complete  and  ready  to  paint. 

Third:'Layer  capped  at  top  only.  Fourth:  Layer  begin  unrolled  over  roHgh  boards.

Our  liquid  Jlouse  faints, 

We  call  your  attention  to  our  Nassau  Liquid  Paints — ready  for  immediate  use 
on  opening  packages.  We  confidently  offer  these  goods  to  consumers  and  the  trade,  as  the 
very  best  that  are  made — for  the  following  reasons  : 

COVERING  CAPACITY  — These  Paints  being  made  from  the  Best  materials 
will  consequently  cover  better  and  more  surface  than  those  that  contain  barytes  or  clay 
which  add  to  the  “ weight  ” without  increasing  the  body  or  covering  quality. 

PERMANENCY  OF  COLOR.— Great  care  being  taken  to  use  only  permanent 
colors,  our  Tints  do  not  fade  and  change  color  after  being  applied,  as  is  the  case  where  the 
only  object  is  to  get  the  tint,  wihout  reference  to  proper  combination  of  Permanent  colors. 

CONVENIENCE.— Any  one  “ who  can  use  a paint  brush  ” can  apply  them.  Cus- 
tomers can  select  tints,  and,  if  additional  quantity  is  wanted,  can  always  rely  on  getting  same 
shade,  and  not  have  two  or  three  shades  on  same  building  as  is  often  the  case  where  tints 
are  made  experimentally. 

ECON  OM  Y. — Being  ready  for  use,  there  is  no  waste  or  excess  of  material,  as  is  almost 
always  the  case  where  the  customer  buys  Lead,  Oil  and  Turpentine. 

With  our  goods  he  can  get  the  right  quantity  and  use  it  all  up. 

We  put  these  Paints  up  in  packages,  from  Cans,  £,  1,  2,  3 and  5 gallons,  to  Kegs,  10,  15 
and  25  gallons,  and  Barrels  45  gallons

required  for  any  given  surface,  add  the  num- 
ber of  feet,  front  and  rear,  to  the  number  of 
feet  in  length  ( both  sides).  Multiply  this  by 
average  height  and  it  will  give  the  number  of 
square  feet  to  be  painted.  Divide  this  by  250 
(one  gallon  covering  250  square  feet,  two 
coats)  and  it  will  give  quantity  of  paint  in 
gallons  required. 

Care  should  be  used  to  see  that  the  surface 
to  be  painted  is  dry  before  applying  the  paint.

CEMENT. 


A POSITIVE  CURE  FOR  LEAKY  ROOFS. 

It  is  designed  expressly  for  repairing  breaks  or  nail  holes  in  tin,  metal  or  other  Roofs, 
pointing  up  and  repairing  about  chimneys  where  tin  joins  to  brick  or  wood-work,  flashings, 
copings,  clapboards  where  houses  join  together,  gutters,  cupolas,  dormer  windows,  skylights, 
hot-house  frames,  decks,  or  bottoms  of  boats,  aquariums,  water  troughs  or  tanks,  leaks  in 
gas  or  water  pipes,  cementing  seams  in  wood,  stone  or  iron  work,  and  in  fact  all  piaoes 
required  to  be  made  Water-tight. 

It  is  chocolate  color,  contains  no  Tar  or  cheap  oils,  about  the  consistency  of  good  putty, 
ready  for  applying  with  knife,  stick  or  trowel,  is  very  adhesive,  perfectly  elastic,  does  not 
injure  water  from  moment  of  application,  and  cannot  be  washed  off.  This  cement  does  not 
crack,  peel  off  or  blister  in  hot  or  oold  weather,  does  the  same  service  and  lasts  longer  than 
Solder.  After  it  is  once  applied,  a skin  commences  forming  over  it.  which  soon  becomes 
tough  and  hard,  this  process  continues  until  the  whole  assumes  a toughness  like  sole  leather, 
and  eventually  becomes  as  durable  as  the  article  itself.  One  application  being  all  that  is 
required  whep  used  according  to  directions. 

ABSOLUTELY  FIRE,  WATER  AND  DUST-PROOF. 

See  that  the  surface  to  be  mended  is  perfectly  clean  and  dry  ; then  with  a small  trowel 
or  stick,  take  out  as  much  cement  as  necessary  and  press  well  into  the  hole,  crack  or  cavity, 
always  Deing  mindful  to  cover  up  the  whole  leaky  space  thoroughly  • then  add  sufficient  to 
round  off  in  the  manner  here  shown  : O supposing  the  dot  to  be  the  leak  or  space  mended. 

In  using  the  cement  for  pointing  and  mending,  always,  if  possible,  place  it  so  that  the 
greatest  amount  of  pressure  will  be  on  the  top,  instead  of  underneath  it,  and  be  sure  to 
follow  above  directions.  Should  the  Cement  become  stiff  or  too  hard  for  easy  working,  before  it  is 
all  used,  warm  and  add  a little  oil  or  fat  grease,  and  mix  well  together,  then  let  cool. 

Every  farmer  and  heesehelder  shenld  have  a earn  as  with  it,  they  can 
do  their  own  Roof  repairing,  and  thus  save  many  times  its  cost.  It  also  preserves  articles  which 
would  otherwise  be  rendered  worthless,  and  thrown  away. 

CENERAL  DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE. 

Jletal  Roofb  —Each  seam  should  be  thoroughly  examined,  and  wherever  the  slighted 
crack,  pin,  nail  hole  or  other  break  is  found,  apply  the  oement  as  above. 

Shingle  Roofs.  — If  the  shingles  be  old  and  rotten,  tear  them  off  and  put  new  ones 
on  ; if  in  good  condition,  And  about  where  the  leak  is,  then  look  for  a knot-hole,  split,  crack 
or  check  in  a shingle,  about  the  place  it  over-laps  a seam  between  two  other  shingles,  above 
and  below,  so  that  there  shall  be  no  chanoe  for  the  water  to  soak  through  to  the  rafters. 

Chimneys.— Clean  away  the  mortar, pf  the  cavity  should  be  very  large,  fill  with  rags 
or  anything  for  a foundation,  and  apply  plenty  of  oement  on  top  and  "all  around  wherever 
there  is  an  indication  of  a leak,  being  sure  to  press  edges  ef  oement  down  to  the  brick,  stone 
or  wood  work,  in  all  cases. 

'’''Skylights  dfc  Seattle*.— Prem  plenty  of  oement  all  around  the  two  side*  and  top 

of  skylight  where  it  connects  with  the  roof,  er  wherever  a leak  may  shew  itself;  should  the 
putty  about  the  glass  be  eld  and  loose,  clip  it  all  eat  clean,  and  add  oement  in  the  same 

manner  as  patty  is  applied. 

Copings.— Atop  all  joints  between  the  stones  by  pressing  oement  well  in  and  rounding 
off  as  above ; when  the  coping  is  close  to  the  roe f,  nil  up  underneath  the  same,  so  that 
water  may  not  beat  up  over  tin  or  metal. 

Leaky  Joints.— Where  additions  are  built  to  main  houses ; or  about  bay  windows 

etc.,  rain  is  frequently  blown  up  under  a clapboard ; when  such  is  the  case,  oement  well  all 
along  the  lower  edge  of  the  clapboard  where  tin  runs  under. 

Rending  Wooden  Gutters,  Water  Treighs,  dte.— Spread  oement  all  along 
seam  on  inside,  and  let  stand  a«day  or  two  before  letting  water  on. 

Wash  Tubs,  Pails,  Ae. — Press  the  cement  into  leaky  places  and  let  stand  with- 
out using  several  days  so  that  the  same  may  become  thoroughly  knit  to  the  metal  or  wood. 
If  placed  inside  hot  water  is  apt  to  render  the  skin  tender  so  that  clothes,  sticks,  dippers,  etc., 
may  scrape  it  off  if  not  careful.  Tin,  Wooden  or  other  Ware  not  used  over  or  about  a 
fire. — May  be  repaired  with  equal  facility  and  safety. 

Leaky  Water  or  other  Pipes. — Press  plenty  of  the  oement  into  and  over  ths 
entire  cavity,  wrap  a cloth  around  tight  and  tie  it  well  with  a string,  this  after  a day  er  two 
Will  withstand  a pressure  of  100  lbs.  to  the  square  inch.

Red  hot  coals  on  Rubber  Roofing;. 

I have  used  your  Rubber  Rooting  with  the  best  and  most  pleasing  results,  it  is  cheap  and 
durable  as  any  in  the  market : the  Slate  Rooting  Paint  or  covering  is  the  most  perfect  sueess 
of  any  paint  I ever  saw.  To  prove  my  above  assertions,  I wish  to  relate  an  instance 
that  occured  to  one  of  your  roofs  even  before  the  sand  was  applied  ;-my  tinner  was  spouting 
a building  covered  with  your  paint,  and  left  the  fire-pot  full  of  charcoal,  of  red  hot  coals  on 
the  roof,  and  came  to  the  shop  on  business : during  his  absence  the  pot  was  upset  by  a draft 
of  wind,  leaving  at  least  a peek  of  hot  coals  burning  there  at  least  45  minutes.  They 
nearly  burnt  off  the  paint  and  first  thickness  of  felt  for  a space  of  probably  two  square  feet; 
if  it  had  been  sanded,  it  would  never  have  caught.  lean  freely  and  honestly  recommend 
Rubber  Roofing  to  the  trade  and  to  every  one  needing  a cheap  but  good  roof.

I have  used  your  Rubber  Rooting  and  Slate  Roofing  Paint  on  a house  and  large  barn ; 
am  well  pleased  with  them  in  fact,  I would  not  exchange  them  for  any  other  roofing  I have

it  has  stood  the  heat  of  summer  all  right,  and  kept  out  the  rain  ; if  it  stands  the  winter  frost 
I will  use  no  other  hereafter.  A neighbor  of  mine  put  on  a Bodine  roof  in  tiie  same  month, 
it  leaked  in  seventeen  places  the  last  rain,  while  my  house  was  perfectly  dry  ; your  Slate

soft  woods,  and  it  lias  answered  our  purpose  perfectly  ; others  who  have  seen  it  say  they  wil 
use  it  in  the  future,  we  are  now  covering  a building  200  by  35  for  we  regard  Rubber  Roofing 
and  Slate  Roofing  Paint  as  the  best  and  cheapest  roofing  we  can  use  on  it.

After  using  your  Rubber  Roofing  on  my  own  house,  and  finding  it  a good  and  satisfac-

several  hundred  squares  and  am  authorized  to  send  the  following  ; D.  Childers,  Pennsboro,

rapidity  with  which  it  can  be  applied,  the  number  of  years  it  will  last,  and  the  ease  with 
which  it  can  be  transferred  from  one  building  to  another,  1 can  safely  say  it  is  the  cheapest

Better  than  any  shingles,  and  why. 

Having  used  your  Rubber  Roofing  and  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  I am  well  pleased  with 
both.  They  are  superior  to  tin  or  Iron  and  better  than  any  shingles  we  can  get  in  this  section, 
for  the  following  reasons ; 1.  It  does  not  expand  and  contract  in  different  temperatures  as 
other  roofing  does.  2.  It  is  much  cheaper.  3.  Anyone  of  ordinary  mechanical  skill  can  put 
it  on.  4.  It  makes  a very  good  roof,  in  fact,  it  is  the  best  roof  for  the  money,  I ever  saw  and 
cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all  who  want  a first-class  roof  for  small  cost.  WM.  E.  FERRELL

tected by  your  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  which  article  I heartily  recommend  as  a covering  not 
only  for  Rubber,  but  over  tin,  iron,  old  shingles  and  brick  walls,  to  keep  out  the  dampness

About  10.30  P.  M.  Oct.  24th,  the  main  machine  building  of  our  planing  and  wagon 
manufacturing  establishment  was  destroyed  by  fire,  also  our  circular  saw  mill  20  by  60,  ad- 
jacent and  attached  thereto.  The  main  building  was  covered  with  your  3 ply  Rubber 
Roofing,  and  the  saw  mill  had  a shingle  roof.  The  fire  broke  out  in  the  wood  work,  back 
of  the  chimney  in  the  main  building,  and  did  not  get  into  thesaw  mill  until  the  other  build- 
ing was  all  ub’aze,  and  yet  the  fire  did  not  burn  through  the  roof  of  the  main  building,  (the 
one  covered  with  Rubber  Roofing,)  until  after  the  saw  mill  roof  had  fallen  in,  and  even  the 
main  roof  tell  in,  before  the  fire  broke  through  the  Rubber  Roofing,  the  rafters  having  burnt 
off  and  fell,  before  the  roofing  yielded  to  the  flames.  We  have  the  utmost  confidence  in  your

very  bad  weather,  arid  I could  not  get  the  Roof  Painted  all  over  and  it  stood  that  way  all 
winter  without  leaking  : this  spring  I finished  the  first  coat  Paint,  and  in  Sept-,  gave  it  the 
second  coat.  Paint  and  Sand,  and  now  it  is  as  solid  as  Iron,  and  seems  to  me  will  stand  five

Flat  root* that  gave  considerable  trouble. 

I used  your  Roofing  Materials  on  a flat  roof  that  had  given  me  considerable  trouble,  and 
am  well  pleased  with  it.  For  on  a fiat  roof  where  you  no  not  care  to  go  to  the  expense  of 
Tin  or  Iron,  I think  it  a good,  cheap  and  convenient  material.  L.  S.  BURNAP.

New  Shingle  Roof  tliat  leaked  like  a Sieve. 

I covered  a flat  roof  with  shingle  and  it  leaked  like  a sieve  ;-I  then  laid  Rubber  Roofing 
over  the  shingles,  and  it  has  never  since  then  let  one  drop  of  water  through,  even  the  dew 
drips  off  without  being  absorbed  ; I see  no  reason  why  it  should  be  less  durable  than  a sheet 
of  Slate,  and  can  truly  recommend  Rubber  Roofing  and  Paint.  E.  H.  FERRIS,

A nice,  good  and  cheap  Roof. 

My  opinion  about  Rubber  Roofing  is  in  your  favor,  I have  used  it  two  years,  and  it  has 
answered  all  right  for  turning  water.  It  is  more  fire-proof  than  shingles,  and  I believe  if  a 
good  coat  of  paint  and  sand  is  kept  on,  there  is  no  wearing  out.  It  is  a nice,  good  and  cheap 
roof.  J.  KRIEBEL,  Farmer

It  answers  better  than  I expected;  it  pleased  me  so  well  I have  discarded  all  other  kinds. 
18  months  ago  I applied  Rubber  Roofing,  gave  it  only  one  coat  of  Paint,  and  it  holds  out  as 
good  as  any  Tin  roof,  and  better  than  Shingles.  It  is  the  best  roofing  manufactured,  and 
will  have  a great  future.  PH.  ROPIMANN,

No  wind,  snow  or  rain  over  cots  through  it. 

Your  Rubber  Roofing,  makes  a splendid  Roof,  and  it  is  so  easy  to  put  on.  I used  iton 
a Flat  roof ; no  wind,  rain  or  snow  ever  gets  through.  It  goes  ahead  of  Pine  Shingles  or 
Tin,  and  is  much  cheaper.  HIRAM  OBERLIN,  .1.  P.

Freezing,  Thawing  and  Brought  have  no  effect  on  Kuhber  Roofing. 

I laid  a quantity  of  your  Rubber  Rooting  in  the  spring  of  1883,  the  winter  of  83  and  84 
with  us  was  very  severe  on  that  class  of  Rooting,  thawing  and  freezing.  The  past  summer 
has  been  very  dry,  these  extremes  in  temperature  are  usually  fatal  to  that  class  of  rooting, 
but  since  receiving  your  circular  of  Oct.  15th.,  I have  madea  careful  examination  of  the  roofs, 
and  find  them  as  perfect  as  when  first  laid.  I shall  not  hesitate  to  use  it  in  the  future,  and 
shall  recommend  it  to  others.  REUBEN  GARDNER,

The  advantage  over  Tin  or  Shingles. 

I have  used  your  2-ply  Rubber  Rooting,  ami  it  gives  perfect  satisfaction.  I believe  it

which  it  is  laid.  N.  E.  TINKHAM,

We  used  quite  an  amount  of  your  Rubber  Rooting  and  Slate  Paint  in  1883,  have  not  a

Sharp  fire  test. Rubber  Rooting  saves  a Brick  Building. 

I have  used  your  Rubber  Roofing  for  three  years,  and  find  no  fault  with  it.  If  put  on 
dry  sheathing,  and  well  painted,  it  surely  makes  a good  roof,  and  as  fire-proof  as  can  be.  I 
had  one  test  of  its  fire-proof  qualities ; I co  vered  one  Roof  with  your  Rubber  and  Slate  Paint, 
the  next  building  to  it  was  covered  with  shingles,  this  caught  fire  and  burnt  down,  and  it 
would  have  been  impossible  to  have  saved  the  other  building  had  it  not  been  covered  with

A point  worth  careful  consideration. 

I liave  had  numerous  inquiries  as  to  how  your  Rubber  Rooting  stands  the  hard  freezing 
rain,  snow  Ac  ; mine  was  put  on  in  1882,  and  last  winter  was  a fearful  cold  one,  even  for  this 
cold  country,  and  living  on  the  shores  of  bake  Superior  we  have  lots  of  rain  and  snow.  My 
Roof  looks  as  well  and  I have  every  reason  to  believe,  is  as  good  to-day,  as  the  day  it  was  put 
on,  and  the  sand  makes  it  fire-proof  against  sparks,  which  is  a point  worth  careful  consider- 
ation. If  I use  any  more  Roofing,  I shall  most  certainly  use  yours.  J.  W.  SE1GHMAN,

I haveno  hesitation  in  saying  your  Rubber  Roofing  and  Slate  Paint  are  “ just  the  thing.” 
They  give  good  satisfaction,  and  are  easily  put  on.  The  Slate  Paint  is  excellent  for  leaky 
Roofs,  and  in  fact  for  new  Shingles,  is  far  superior  to  any  paint  I ever  used.

What  old  Painters  say  about  Slate  Paint. 

I have  used  a number  of  bbls.  your  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  and  find  it  all  you  claim  for  it. 
I have  compared  it  with  other  Roofing  Paints,  and  do  not  find  any  that  will  wear,  and  look 
one  quarter  as  well.  Old  Painters  say  that  it  beats  any  roof  Paint  they  ever  saw;  they  try 
to  imitate  it,  but  they  can’t.  A.  PHILPOTT,

I built  my  house  two  years  ago,  there  was  a piece  of  the  Roof  that  was  rather  flat,  and 
could  not  keep  it  dry  with  the  best  of  Shingles;  saw  your  circular  and  sent  for  your  Rubber 
and  Paint,  and  have  never  seen  a drop  of  water  come  through  it  yet,  and  I do  not  think  there 
will  be  in  years  to  come.  It  is  the  best  thing  I ever  put  on  a Roof,  and  heartily  recommend

Rubber  Roofing  is  all  you  represent  it,  one-third  cheaper  than  pine  shingles,  and  I am

An  old  Builder  who  sleeps  sound. 

I have  used  your  Rubber  Roofing  on  a building,  and  am  pleased  with  it.  I honestly 
think  it  to  be  the  cheapest  and  best  routing  ever  used,  safe  from  fire  at  all  times,  and  a per 
feet  Roof;  no  leakage,  and  from  all  indications  is  the  roofing  that  should  be  adopted  by  all 
parties  with  a view  to  economy.  I have  been  a builder  for  25  years,  though  now  on  my  farm 
retired  from  active  business,  my  age  is  past  69,  and  having  tried  to  live  an  honest  life,  and 
having  large  landed  estate  worth  $100,000  or  more,  I wish  to  sleep  sound  without  fear  of 
being  burnt  up  during  the  night.  I recommend  your  Rubber  Roofing  in  preference  to  Shin- 
gles, Gravel,  Tin  or  Iron,  all  of  which  have  been  leaky  and  defective,  and  are  fast  going  out 
of  use.  I am  now  a farmer,  and  never  expect  to  use  anything  but  Rubber  Roofing  with 
Slate  Paint,  forming  a solid  sheet  of  Rock,  which  is  impregnable  to  fire.

Your  Rubber  Roofing  fills  the  bill  all  0.  K.  I shall  cover  all  my  buildings  with  it,  as 
fast  as  the  old  Roofs  give  out.  It  will  be  extensively  used  here,  as  it  is  so  good  for  flat  roofs

I covered  a building  46  x 80  with  your  Rubber  Roofing  a year  ago;  a master  mechanic 
examined  it  last  week,  and  says  it  is  perfect  and  as  firm  as  it  was  when  first  put  on.  In  re- 
gard to  your  Paint  there  is  none  better,  but  Painters  make  a great  mistake  in  not  using  it  as 
it  is  sent  to  them,  they  are  apt  to  make  it  too  thin.  JAS.  R.  WOOLFENDEN,

Worthless  Tin  roof  effectually  repaired  with  Slate  Paint.

will  be  glad  at  anytime  to  report  the  durability  of  it.  As  it  has  only  been  on  two  years,

It  makes  a far  better  Roof  than  Shingles,  it  is  as  hard  as  a stone,  and  the  weather  does 
not  have  any  effect  on  it.  I put  some  strips  of  Rubber  Roofing  under  a steam-box  to  carry 
off  the  water  that  ran  out.  The  water  or  steam  do  not  have  any  effect  on  it,  only  to  make

on  a wood-shed.  In  all  cases  it  satisfies  me  better  than  any  Roofing  or  Paint  I ever  had,  and 
I have  tried  several  kinds,  and  have  seen  many  others  tried,  none  of  which  gave  satisfaction 
in  this  climate  of  alternate  rain  and  sunshine ; some  Roofings  mould  :-others  shrink  ; while 
most  of  the  so-called  Paints  “run”  when  under  the  rays  of  a noon  sun  in  summer.  I recoin

ienced labor  iu  making  roofs  perfectly  tight,  and  the  cost  of  putting  it  on  is  very  small,  this 
Roofing  will  last  well,  and  be  found  to  be  the  cheapest  article  that  can  be  used  in  this  climate.

glad  to  be  able  to  report  that  your  material  has  made  a tight  and  satisfactory  roof,  and  the 
indications  are  that  the  roof  will  remain  in  perfect  condition  for  a long  time.

was  effectually  stopped  with  a little  of  your  Paint.  Rubber  Roofing  is  quite  superior  to  shin- 
gles. can  be  put  on  by  any  one  of  ordinary  mechanical  capacity,  in  less  than  half  the  time

and  six  squares  on  flat  part  of  my  dwelling ; I applied  two  coats  of  Slate  Paint,  which  is  the 
Best  water-proof  Paint  I ever  saw,  it  has  such  a heavy  body : the  one  coat  of  fine  sharp  sand 
I put  on,  in  about  two  weeks  was  tight  and  solid  to  the  Paint,  and  you  would  think  it  was  a 
granite  Roof.  I think  by  giving  it  one  coat  your  Slate  Painteveryfiveyears.it  will  last 
twenty-five  years.  I have  had  Tin  Roofs  put  on,  but  there  was  always  a leak  soiue  place  :

Very  flat;— Five  inches  fall  in  seven  feet. 

I used  your  Roofing  on  very  flat  Roofs,  and  it  gives  entire  satisfaction.  One  porch  Roof 
had  only  5inches  fall  in  7 ft.,  also  carried  the  water  from  two  other  Roofs.  Rubber  is  all 
that  can  be  desired,  and  better  than  Tin  or  Shingles ; it  can  be  used  where  Shingles  cannot.

The  very  best  for  Farmers. 

In  1882 1 put  your  Roofing  on  my  Granery,  which  I occupied  as  a dwelling  until  the 
spring  of  1883.  When  laid  I put  on  only  one  coat  of  Paint ; the  winter  was  very  severe,  with 
a great  deal  of  snow,  but  the  Roofing  was  all  right  in  the  spring.  On  July  13  we  had  a severe 
hail  and  wind  storm  pass  tliro’  this  coutry,  the  hail  being  five  inches  deep  in  the  orchard 
around  the  Granery,  and  a number  of  the  trees  being  blown  down  and  torn  to  pieces.  Your 
Roofing  altho’  not  sanded  stood  the  test  well,  not  being  damaged  in  the  least ; I do  not  think 
there  could  have  been  one  single  square  inch  not  hit  with  hail.  Your  Roofing  is  the  very 
best  I know  anything  about,  and  would  particularly  recommend  it  to  Farmers  for  all  pur- 
poses. ' L.  8.  DODGE

Shingle  Hoofs. How  he  repaired  them. 

I consider  your  3-ply  materials  a reliable  and  desirable  Roofing,  for  business  houses  and 
all  the  better  class  of  buildings.  The  Temporary  makes  an  excellent  and  very  cheap  Roof 
for  sheds,  and  all  low  price  buildings.  But  an  important  part  of  my  business  has  been 
Painting  Shingle  Roofs,  with  your  Slate  Paint.  I have  used  many  hundred  gallons  : the 
Roofs  have  been  in  various  conditions,  and  in  all  cases  the  Paint  lias  stopped  leakage,  pre- 
served the  Roof,  and  given  satisfaction.  I first  go  over  an  old  Roof,  taking  out  all  totally 
decayed  shingles,  and  carefully  fit  in  new  ones  : cement  around  flues,  &c.:-  then  paint  heavily 
one  coat.  Your  State  Paint  brings  down  all  curled  or  warped  shingles,  fills  up  all  cracks, 
and  the  painted  Roof  presents  a smooth  even  surface.  To  stop  leaks  in  match  board  Roofs 
on  porches,  &c.,  we  paint  freely  with  Slate  Paint,  then  sprinkle  on  all  the  fine  sand  that  can 
be  made  to  stick  : after  that  dries  apply  another  coat  of  Paint.  This  is  the  best  thing  I have 
ever  found  for  the  purpose.  D.  B.  CHANNELL.

I am  well  pleased  with  your  Roofing  on  my  house : Roof  is  very  flat  and  the  material 
stood  an  18  hours  rain  before  painting,  but  not  a drop  of  water  leaked  through.  I painted 
and  sanded  the  second  coat,  and  it  is  as  nice  a Slate  Roof.  ISAAC  HERTHEY,  M.  D.

I have  used  your  Rubber  Roofing,  and  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction.  The  material  is 
much  better  and  cheaper  than  shingles.  If  kept  painted  the  same  as  Tin,  it  will  give  better 
satisfaction  than  tin,  and  at  about  half  the  cost.  L.  H.  STEFFEY,

On  his  own  house. 


I am  well  pleased  with  the  Roofing;  all  that  see  it,  think  it  splendid  : it  will  soon  take 
the  place  of  both  Shingles  and  Tin  on  account  of  both  its  cheapness  and  durability.  I have 
used  it  on  porches  and  dwelling  ; the  latter  had  a very  little  fall,  and  the  Roofing  does  as 
well  on  flat  as  steep  roofs.  I am  using  it  now  on  my  own  house.  It  is  more  durable  than 
shingles,  especially  in  this  Slate,  where  the  sun  shines  very  hot,  which  is  hard  on  shingles. 
The  Slate  Paint  is  boss  on  pine  shingles,  look  as  if  they  would  last  50  years  when  painted 
two  coats  and  sanded.  I want  every  one  to  get  the  best  roof,  to  keep  rain  and  snow  from 
spoiling  their  furniture,  and  yours  can’t  be  equalled.  W.  H.  RUCKLE,

Four  gutters:  a ditlieult  Koot’to  lay. 

Your  Rubber  Rooting  arrived  last  summer  in  good  condition.  I applied  part  to  a flat

ters! full  heigth  of  Roof.  Result  in  all  cases  has  been  very  satisfactory.  1 am  satisfied  your 
Roofing  will  take  the  place  of  all  other  Roofing  as  soon  as  known,  being  easily  applied, 
making  a pretty  and  durable  Roof.  My  occupation  is  farming.  H.  B.  KNEELAND,

and  covered  with  tin  ; which,  for  fifteen  years  I could  not  stop  from  leaking,  especially  in 
the  gutters.  The  result  has  been  most  satisfactory  and  1 may  say  surprising,  in  that  the  roof 
lias  not  leaked  a drop,  and  it  is  as  good  as  new.  JAS.  E.  WHITE,  Fruit  Dealer,

on  the  Rubber  Roofing  : it  is  giving  good  satisfaction,  and  has  not  leaked  any  since,  although 
it  has  not  had  the  second  coat,  of  paint  yet.  I have  also  applied  it  to  both  flat  and  steep 
Roofs,  and  recommend  Rubber  Roofing.  I would  not  use  tin  or  shingles  for  a Roof  for  my

Ten  years  test.  Slate  Paint  on  a Roof  condemned  by  two  parties. 

Some  ten  or  twelve  years  since  I obtained  Slate  Roofing  Paint  to  cover  the  tin  Roof  of 
the  L of  my  house,  it  leaked  so  badly  that  two  separate  tinmen,  that  called  to  repair  it,  re- 
ported that  it  was  so  bad,  that  it  must  have  a new  Roof.  I had  two  coats  applied  and  the 
leans  were  all  stopped,  and  remained  so  up  to  last  year,  when  I had  two  more  coats  applied. 
It  is  all  right  up  to  this  time  and  I don’t  see  why  it  should  not  stand  another  ten  years.  It 
is  the  best  material  for  tin  and  other  Roofs,  I have  ever  found  in  an  experience  of  more  than 
forty  years  building  for  private  and  public  purposes.  E.  P.  CARPENTER,

use  20  years,  and  was  in  bad  condition.  Also  used  it  on  new  flat  Roof  at  same  time.  I re- 
cently examined  both  Roofs,  and  find  them  apparently  as  good  as  new.  Neither  has  ever 
leaked , and  I consider  vour  Roofing  as  good  as  represented  in  every  particular

self  and  owners  of  the  buildings.  I have  had  some  experience  in  putting  on  felt  and  gravel 
Roofs,  and  must  say  your  Rubber  felt  is  the  best  I ever  applied.  I used  one  bbl.  of  “Slate

fect satisfaction.  I know  of  no  paint  better  for  such  purposes,  and  have  been  successful  in 
stopping  leaks  in  old  gravel  Roofs  with  your  Slate  Paint.  I am  a house  carpenter  and

faction. I could  not  wish  any  better  Roofing;  it  is  cheaper  than  tin  or  shingles,  and  I think 
with  proper  care,  and  an  occasional  coat  of  Paint,  it  will  last  a lifetime.

Six  years  test : Streams  of  water  ell'eetually  stopped 
with  Slate  Cement. 

I used  your  Roofing  material  on  dwelling  houses  and  several  other  buildings  and  sheds. 
All  has  given  good  results.  The  Roof  on  house  has  been  on  about  five  or  six  years,  and  is 
apparently  as  good  as  when  put  on.  Think  it  is  a good  thing  for  Roofs,  and  would  especial- 
ly recommend  theSlate  Paint  and  Cement  for  leaky  Roofs  and  about  windows  and  chimneys. 
I have  stopped  very  bad  leaks  on  one  application  where  the  water  ran  down  in  streams  when 
there  was  a heavy  storm,  and  to-day  they  do  not  leak  a drop,  and  the  Cement  has  been  on 
for  years.  I am  a practical  builder,  owning  and  running  a large  planing  mill ; but  for  the

15  years  experience. Something  about  a Tin  Roof. 

I am  very  much  pleased  with  the  Roofing;  I put  a Roof  on  for  our  druggist  of  the  No. 
3 “ over  shingles,”  and  he  says  if  he  was  building,  he  would  never  put  Shingles  on  a Roof 
again  if  he  could  get  Rubber.  I was  at  his  store  last  night,  and  in  a few  minutes  had  orders 
for  two  more  Roofs:  if  I had  a hundred  sqrs.  of  No.  3,  I could  use  it  in  a month.  I have 
some  fine  sample  Roofs  made,  which  1 am  going  to  hang  in  different  stores.  I was  talking 
with  a grocer  yesterday,  he  has  a Roof  about  30x30  whicn  has  a Tin  Roof  on,  and  ever  since 
he  had  it  put  on  it  has  given  him  trouble ; pulling  apart  at  joints  and  leaking  ; besides  this 
he  keeps  his  butter,  meats,  &c.  in  this  part,  and  it  makes  it  so  hot  in  summer  that  he  dislikes 
it,  and  will  have  No.  3 on.  I have  put  on  Roofs  for  fifteen  years,  and  never  found  any  to 
compare  with  this  Roofing;  so  easily  applied,  and  looks  so  nice  when  on.

In  June  1884  I required  material  lor  a Roof  not  suitable  for  shingling.  I was  at  a loss 
what  material  to  use ; at  first  1 was  of  the  opinion  that  a tin  Roof  would  be  the  thing  ; I in- 
quired price  $7,00  per  sq.  This  was  too  expensive.  I then  sought  for  other  material-Bodine 
and  Manilla  Roofing,  but  was  still  at  a loss  which  to  adopt.  By  mere  accident  I was  told  of 
your  Rubber  Rooting.  1 sent  for  a sample,  with  it  come  a circular  describing  its  composition 
&c.  1 at  once  made  up  my  mind  it  was  ahead  of  anything  I had  heard  of,  and  accordingly 
ordered  sufficient  to  cover  my  building  and  am  well  pleased  with  results.  I applied  it  on  a 
Roof  (hip)  rather  flat,  well  sheathed  with  boards,  closely  put  together.  We  had  several  hard 
rain  storms  immediately  after  the  Roof  was  laid,  and  contrary  to  the  predictions  of  “ wise- 
acres.” (who  are  prolific  in  a country  village),  it  did  not  leak.  I applied  two  coats  of  your 
Roofing  Paint,  sanded  the  last  coat,  feel  perfectly  safe  from  leakage,  and  believe  it  to  be  fire 
proof.  I feel  justified  in  recommending  it  to  the  public  as  a durable  Roofing,  that  is  warm 
in  winter,  and  impervious  to  water;  in  short  just  the  kind  of  Roofing  people  want,  being 
with  all  these  qualities  inexpensive.  Your  Roofing  Paint  I have  also  used  for  painting  barns, 
and  outhouses:  think  it  is  excellent.  I have  also  used  your  mixed  paint,  which  certainly  is 
all  you  recommend  it.  I may  add  the  cost  of  my  Roof,  including  freight  of  goods,  was  very 
little  more  than  half  the  cost  of  Tin,  and  I believe  it  to  be  far  superior.

Building  Paper  first-class  for  outside  use. 

I used  your  Building  Paper  on  outside  of  shiplap  sheathing  boards,  running  it  lengthwise 
securing  with  paste,  tin  caps  and  nails.  The  sheathing  and  building  paper  on  the  outside  is 
all  that  protects  me  and  my  family  from  the  storms  and  blizzards  of  western  Iowa.  I would 
not  give  your  material  for  all  the  other  paper  they  have  got  hereto  expose  to  the  weather. 
It  costs  a great  deal  less  and  is  in  just  as  good  condition  as  when  put  on.  The  Slate 
Cement  I put  on  the  Roof  was  also  effectual  and  I like  it.  I recommend  the  goods  as  first- 
class  and  all  represented.  SAMUEL  ROMIG,

Sedalia,  11  o. 

I would  heartily  recommend  to  the  people  of  Sedalia  the  use  of  Glines  Slate  Roofing 
Paint  for  shingle  Roots.  Having  carefully  investigated  the  same,  it  is  my  idea  of  Roofing 
Paint.  We  contracted  to  paint  the  roof  of  my  hotel,  part  of  it  was  very  old  and  looked  rough, 
the  balance  comparatively  new.  Now  all  looks  uniform  and  smooth,  and  all  covered  with 
a heavy  body  of  slate,  which  must  of  necessity  be  very  durable  and  weather  proof.  Also 
painted  and  cemented  the  flat  tin  Roof  of  our  kitchen,  which  has  bothered  us  continually  by 
leakages,  but  which  seems  effectually  cured  now.  CHAS.  G.  MATHEWS,  Hotel.

and  durable  Roof.  L.  W.  WHIPPLE,

I am  fully  persuaded  of  the  necessity  of  painting  shingle  Roofs.  I am  also  persuaded 
that  Glines  Slate  Roofing  Paint  is  the  material  for  this  business,  being  practically  fire-proof 
and  positively  weather  proof,  stopping  all  leaks,  preventing  the  warping  of  shingles,  and  per- 
petuating the  life-time  of  a Roof,  as  well  as  adding  much  to  the  looks  of  a house.

I have  had  the  Roof  of  my  home  painted  with  “Glines  Slate  Roofing  Paint,”  and  am  so 
well  pleased  with  the  work  that  I want  to  have  the  Roofs  of  all  my  houses  painted.  This 
Roof  was  very  old  and  would  have  had  to  been  torn  off,  and  a new  one  put  on  soon,  but  now 
it  seems  to  be  as  good  as  new.  Also  had  painted  the  flat  Tin  Roof  of  my  kitchen  which  was 
leaky,  with  equally  satisfactory  results.  MRS.  E.  T.  BROWN.

The  Roof  of  our  Baptist  Church  has  bothered  us  continually  by  leakages  in  the  Roof 
and  around  the  belfry.  The  Ladies  Aid  Society,  with  the  assistance  of  several  individuals 
obtained  your  materials  to  paint  the  Roof  and  base  of  steeple  ; first  applying  cement  to  all 
doubtful  places;  then  painted  with  Glines  Slate  Roofing  Paint,  and  though  we  have  had 
most  severe  storms  since  then,  it  has  not  leaked  a drop.

House  Paint glossy  surface  on  a weather  beaten  house 

Your  house  Paint  was  applied  to  outside  surface,  the  condition  of  which  was  very  bad, 
having  stood  about  five  years  with  only  a priming  coat,  in  consequence  of  which  it  was  bad- 
ly weather-beaten.  Result  was  everything  that  could  be  wished : your  Paint  produces  a 
bright  glossy  surface,  and  is  an  article  that  can  be  recommended  as  A 1.

Our  Building  Paper  superior  to  Plastering. 

Having  used  your  “Building  Paper’’  for  inside  work  instead  of  plastering,  I am  well  sat- 
isfied with  it.  It  makes  a neat  and  serviceable  job,  and  can  see  no  reason  why  it  will  not  be 
as  durable  as  the  best  plastering.  It  protects  against  the  cold  as  well,  if  not  better , than  plas- 
tering, is  sightly  to  the  eye,  and  when  desired  can  be  papered  over  or  painted.  It  can  be  put 
on  by  any  one  of  ordinaay  intelligence,  and  at  any  season  of  the  year.  I do  not  hesitate  to 
recommend  it  to  my  friends.  WM.  H.  BROWN.

Five  years  Tests. 

Some  five  years  ago  I ordered  paint  from  you  for  my  new  residence  just  completed, 
White  paint  to  coat  the  body  two  coats,  and  Slate  color  for  trimmings  : also  Slate  Roofing 
Paint  for  Tin  Roofs  on  porch  and  bay  windows.  My  house  is  on  an  eminence,  very  much 
exposed  to  winds  and  rain,  and  yet  the  colors  are  perfectly  good.  I never  knew  Paint  to  wear 
better  or  give  better  satisfaction.  I have  been  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law  for  years,  and  I 
find  your  Paints  highly  approved  in  other  places.  F.  W.  EARNEST.

Four  years  test  of  House  Paint. Something  for  Farmers  to  read. 

You  ask  my  opinion  of  your  Paints ; after  having  tried  them  four  years,  I am  free  to  say 
they  are  altogether  unequalled  by  any  I have  been  aide  to  procure.  By  unequalled,  I mean 
for  durability  in  weather  as  well  as  on  inside  work,  and  their  ease  of  application  is  partic- 
ularly noticeable,  as  brush  marks,  if  made,  seem  to  settle  out  smoothly.  I painted  dressed 
palings  on  one  side  of  my  yard  with  the  Averill  Paint,  and  the  other  side  with  the  best  brand 
of  lead  in  the  market,  purposely  as  a test,  and  in  three  years  the  wood  was  well  nigh  exposed. 
It  will  be  four  years  next  May  since  I used  your  Paint  on  palings  and  casing  of  posts  simi- 
larly exposed,  and  to-day  they  remain  as  perfectly  painted  and  as  glossy  as  when  first  applied 
save  a slight  soiling  of  dust.  No  whitening  of  clothes  that  rub  against  it,  and  after  a rain, 
drops  of  water  hang  and  glisten  upon  it  as  on  a pitcher.  The  Roofing  Paint  I ordered  for  a 
neighbor  fora  shingle  Roof,  also  another  for  a tin  Roof  and  for  the  weather  boarding  of  the 
Home  Woolen  Mills,  gives  good  satisfaction  to  their  owners.  I am  a farmer  and  have  done 
all  my  own  painting  for  over  twenty  years,  and  any  farmer  can  do  so  if  he  will  use  your 
ready  mixed  Paints,  so  easy  are  they  to  work.  EPHRAIM  LINK,  Farmer.

We  used  your  No.  3 Rooting  on  dwelling  bouse  and  stable.  It  has  been  on  over  a year 
and  we  like  it  first  rate.  I believe  if  taken  care  of  and  kept  painted,  it  will  last  equal  to  Tin; 
and  in  some  respects  it  is  better,  as  it  does  not  rattle  in  time  of  storms,  and  does  not  go  and 
come  in  change  of  temperature  which  causes  kinking  and  breaking  in  Tin  Roofs.

Have  numerous  inquiries  as  to  how  your  Rubber  Roofing  stands  the  hard  freezing, 
rain,  snow  Ac.;  mine  was  put  on  in  '82.  Last  winter  was  a fearful  cold  one,  even  for  this 
cold  country,  and  living  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Superior,  we  have  lots  of  rain  and  snow.  My 
Roof  toots  as  well,  and  I have  every  reason  to  believe  is  as  good  to-day  as  when  first  put  on. 
The  sand  helps  makes  it  fire-proof  against  sparks,  which  is  a point  worth  careful  considera- 
tion. When  I need  any  Roofing  I shall  certainly  use  Rubber  Roofing.

Superior  Roof  for  a ISarn 

I covered  my  barn  with  your  Rooting  last  fall,  and  it  has  not  leaked  a drop,  altho’  I

An  unusual  Jest. Rubber  Roofing  laid  on  3 inch  strips. 

The  Rubber  Roofing  1 bought  of  you,  to  cover  a granery  on  my  farm,  has  given  perfect 
satisfaction,  and  is  I think  what  you  represent  it  to  be,  in  every  particular.  The  test  in  this 
case  was  severe,  as  I did  not  follow  your  directions  for  applying,  and  if  it  had  failed  should 
have  blamed  myself  You  directed  to  lay  it  on  a close  boarded  surface,  but  I laid  it  on  a 
Roof  covered  with  three  inch  strips  three  inches  apart,  and  it  has  stood  perfectly  even.  I 
feared  it  might  sag  or  drop,  during  the  beat  of  summer,  between  the  strips,  but  it  did  not  in 
the  sligheset  and  is  to-day  as  straight,  smooth  and  even  as  when  first  put  on  ; and  if  painted 
occasionly  bids  fair  to  outlast  any  part  of  the  building.  My  Roof  had  a rise  of  about  two 
feet  in  ten.  I think  it  a very  durable  and  cheap  Roof,  light  and  easy  to  apply.

Having  known  of  your  "Rubber  Roofing"  and  “Slate  Paint”  for  the  past  ten  years,  and 
feeling  assured  of  its  merits,  1 concluded  to  give  it  a practical  test  by  applying  it  on  a store 
building,  22x90  ft.  I erected  last  spring.  I also  used  it  on  a warehouse  building,  20x50  feet 
built  about  the  same  time.  .The  Roofs  were  rough  boards  laid  closely  and  of  ordinary  pitch  ; 
we  used  the  No.  3 Roofing  and  two  coats  of  your  genuine  “ Slate  Paint.”  The  work  was 
done  by  men  who  had  never  seen  anything  of  the  kind,  but  by  following  your  plain  direct- 
ions, they  did  a very  creditable  job,  and  it  presents  a very  smooth  and  handsome  surface, 
which  has  withstood  great  extremes  of  heat  and  cold  without  effecting  it  in  the  least.  Its 
fire-proof  properties  should  commend  it  for  general  use  in  the  place  of  shingles,  if  there  were 
no  other  advantages.  It  has  also  been  applied  here  on  flat  Roofs  and  sheds  with  entire  sat-

The  Roofing  you  sent  gives  perfect  satisfaction.  I used  the  Temporary  Roofing  to  repair 
the  old  Roofs  of  two  buildings  ; after  I nailed  it  down,  I painted  and  sanded  it.  I never  did 
anything  of  the  kind  before,  but  found  no  trouble  in  doing  it.  It  is  very  easily  laid.  I used 
No.  3 Roofing,  which  is  the  best  for  a house;  I just  laid  it  on  top  of  the  old  shingle  Roof: 
as  it  was  in  middle  of  winter,  I could  not  do  otherwise.  We  have  about  12  inches  of  snow 
on  Roof  now,  and  it  is  water-tight.  My  occupation  was  formerly  boiling  and  pudling  in

The  building  on  which  your  Roofing  was  laid,  had  a wooden  frame,  w’eather  boarded  and 
sealed.  The  Rubber  Roofing  is  laid  on  a well  sheated  surface,  laid  with  4x4  boards.  The 
Roof  is  of  ordinary  pitch  J under  square.  As  far  as  I have  had  experience  with  your  roofing 
it  has  proven  all  claimed.  It  is  no  trouble  to  apply  ; makes  a most  beautiful  Roof,  and  is 
cheaper  than  shingles.  After  your  Roofing  Paint  is  applied,  it  is  fire-proof  as  well  as  water 
tight.  It  makes  a cheap  and  durable  Roof,  and  is  destined  to  take  the  place  of  all  wooden 
Roofs.  O.  W.  FORD.

A good  Roof  at  small  cost. 

I have  used  your  Rubber  Roofing  and  Slate  Roofing  Paint.  It  has  given  satisfaction  and 
is,  I think,  superior  to  tin  for  many  reasons,  it  does  not  expand  or  contract,  thereby  caus- 
ing leaks,  and  is  cheaper.  I cheerfully  recommend  it  as  a good  Roof  at  a small  cost.

“ Rubber  Roofing  sells  itself.  ** 

The  66  squares  Rubber  Roofing  I had  of  you  were  put  on  the  Roofe  of  a stable,  carriage 
house,  coal  and  shaving  sheds,  and  stock  housu  ; my  experience  is  that  it  sells  itself  after 
being  once  introduced;  everybody  wants  it.  ' C.  F.  BOUTELLE,

Please  send  us  soon  as  possible  some  of  your  Roofing  Paint,  enough  for  a steep  Roof  on 
a building  30x66  feet.  The  Rubber  Roofing  we  put  on  our  boiler  house  a year  ago  seems  to

Hen  houses. The  very  Best  roof. 

It  has  given  excellent  satisfaction,  is  perfectly  water-proof,  and  the  heaviest  storms  do 
not  beat  under  it.  I think  it  the  very  best  Roof  for  hen  houses,  as  yon  can  make  Roof  nearly 
flat it  also  makes  building  warm  in  winter  and  cool  in  summer.

Warped  Shingles  become  perfectly  Flat. 

I have  used  vour  Slate  Roofing  Paint  on  both  Tin  and  Shingle  Roofs,  and  find  it  to  be 
all  you  claim.  1 have  used  it  on  old  Shingle  Roofs  where  the  shingles  were  badly  warped, 
and  with  two  coats,  the  shingles  were  laid  perfectly  flat.  I consider  it  the  best  Paint  I ever 
used,  and  next  season  expect  to  use  large  quantities  of  it.  JOHN  J.  BLISS.,
